Sponge Cake 4 eggs;3/4 cup caster sugar'2/3 cup plain flour;1/3 cup cornflour;1 tsp baking powder. Put eggs into small bowl of electric mixer(or use electric hand beaters) beat on medium speed until mixture is thick and creamy. Mixture will rise almost to the top of the bowl;beating time is 5-8 minutes. Gradually beat in sugar, beat until sugar is dissolved. Sift dry ingredients several times so all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

With a spatula or a metal sppon fold in dry ingredients into egg yolk mixture. Do this lightly and quickly, so that the airy sponge mixture is not broken down, but make sure all flour is mixed in. Pour mixture evenly into two well-greased deep round cake tins. Bake in mod oven 20-25 mins, cake is cooked when it shrinks slightly from the side of the tin or when the top is pressed lightly with the fingertips, it springs back lightly and fingerprints leave no impression. cont... ...
Cover wire rack with a clean teatowel and turn cakes out of tins immediately they are cooked. Carefully invert so the tops of cakes are uppermost. When cold, spread one half with whipped cream and the other with passionfruit pulp or jam. dust top with icing sugar.
